Two young people, a 20-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man, have died following a serious road accident in Italy’s Umbria region.
The crash occurred on the morning of October 12 on the Perugia–Bettolle road, near the Passignano Ovest exit, within the municipality of Passignano sul Trasimeno, in the province of Perugia.
The two victims, both originally from the Marche region, were traveling in a car that collided with a truck. The accident took place on a section of road where construction work was underway and traffic had been temporarily restricted.
Following the collision, both young people were pulled from the vehicle and rushed to Santa Maria della Misericordia Hospital in Perugia in critical condition.
They were admitted to the intensive care unit due to the severity of their injuries. Despite the medical team’s efforts, neither survived.
The hospital confirmed both deaths late in the afternoon.
The accident occurred on a stretch of road affected by construction work, where the carriageway had been temporarily narrowed. Further details about the circumstances and the cause of the collision have not yet been established.
